searching
Designs may be difficult to search depending on the jurisdiction due to various requirements regarding image reproduction and the national database coverages.
However, Designview from EUIPO is a convenient tool for searching for designs in all participating offices, including DPMA, the EUIPO, the WIPO and the IPI. We can conduct design searches for our clients but we would also recommend monitoring the registration of the designs of main competitors also by searching by the Applicant name.
